Power of Motion

Turning wheels with purpose and might,  

Overcoming obstacles, reaching new heights.  

Rotating forces that drive us along,  

Quietly powering, strong and long.  

Unleashing energy, a thrill in the air,  

Engine’s heartbeat, a mechanical flair.

OWL
FLAMINGO
PHEASANT

The Colorful Trio

In a forest bright and grand,
Lived an owl, a flamingo, and a pheasant so grand.
With feathers of colors, a sight to behold,
Each one unique, but their hearts made of gold.

The owl was wise, perched high in a tree,
With stories of night and the secrets to see.
The flamingo danced with a graceful delight,
Spinning and twirling, a vibrant sight.

The pheasant, oh my, with a plume so fine,
Chirped joyful tunes, keeping spirits in line.
They’d gather at dusk, as the sun dipped low,
Sharing their tales with a warm, friendly glow.

Though different they seemed in the light of the day,
They laughed and they played in their own special way.
For friendship, you see, knows no bounds, nor disguise,
In the world of the odd, love always replies.

So, here’s to the trio, so quirky and bright,
The owl, flamingo, and pheasant, a delight!
In their colorful world, they teach us to cheer,
That friendship is magic, forever sincere.

ROOST
BOOST
HOOT

Ryan the Rooster

Ryan the rooster with brave, bold eyes.
He didn’t give a hoot about what others said,
With dreams of boosting his words up ahead.

He strutted and crowed, with a voice loud and bright,
Sharing his stories from morning till night.
But amid all the clamor, a lesson rang true,
You can’t force belief, it must find its own view.

So, he learned to embrace both the quiet and loud,
Finding joy in his journey and standing out proud.
For in the hearts of the dreamers, his message took flight,
In the dance of opinions, he shone his own light.

CRUMBLE
TUMBLE
RUMBLE

The Sweetest Crumb

In the quiet of the day, there’s a rumble in my tummy,
For I am hungry, but alas, there is not a crumb to be found,
No cookies or treats, just an empty, gnawing grumble,
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I see something round.

A tiny crumble of cookie, oh, what a sight!
It glistens like treasure, just waiting for me,
But wait! I’m not alone in this sweet little plight,
For my sister spies it too, and now there’s a spree.

We tumble and roll in a rush to the prize,
A playful scuffle ensues, laughter and squeals,
With every twist and turn, we both reach for the size,
That tiny crumb of delight that our hunger reveals.

In this chaotic dance, we giggle and tease,
The cookie piece gleams as it teeters away,
But amidst all the tussle, we find a sweet ease,
For sharing the moments that brighten the day.

At last, we settle down, the treat in our hand,
Together we break it, a crumb for each bite,
No need for the rumble, we understand,
In moments like these, everything feels just right.

Behind the Mask

For years and years not only did I wear a mask, 

I wore a costume. Never showing my true self, 

Afraid to be judged. As time went by, 

The costume became who I am, 

But in my heart, I knew I wasn’t being true. 

Trying to break free from the mask and the costume.

WRAP

CLING

The Elf Holiday Mix-Up

Oh, dear, the elves made an error,
Instead of wrapping the gifts, they warped them,
Instead of being put in the sled, they cling,
Oh, whatever shall we do? Let’s solve this thing!

Christmas Eve is here, we must act fast,
To fix this mix-up, we can’t let it last.
For joy must fill the night, with laughter and cheer,
We’ll work together, the magic is near!

With nimble fingers and hearts so bright,
We’ll gather the gifts and set things right.
For the children’s smiles we hold dear,
This night of wonder, let’s bring them cheer!
